Full-length Rock Stop® protection helps keep you safe from sharp rocks and debris that try to cause discomfort or penetrate the outsole, the laces stay tied in the field, and sticky rubber helps keep your feet where you plant them on the rock or terrain.

These styles meet New Balance specifications in every other way, and in no way affect the performance of the shoe. Our standard return policy is honored with these shoes.
